2320 engine

[Deere_parts]

Couldn't draw any conclusions on it. The transmissions, frames and other items were different. I was just trying to see if the 2320 was an over grown 2305 but couldn't tel much just by the part numbers.

Unless you need the higher speed associated with higher GPM flow, It really doesn't affect the strength of the hydraulics, just the speed.

For what I need to do the 2320 would be fine as it's still faster and easier than using a shovel around the house.

I'm waiting to see prices on the 2320 and find out if the 62d deck will go on the 2305 before I make my final decision

CJ & DP,

I was wondering about the number because of some posts here on TBN that claimed loader and hydro performance was diminished while using both at the same time. Those posts seemed to point toward marginal available pump performance to be able to push both systems to the limits. I believe some of the comments said the hydro didn’t have enough power when pushing into a pile and operating the loader at the same time. That’s going to happen regardless of manual or hydro however and could have been limited experience or over expectations on whatever particular machine. I don't remember what brands or machines were being mentioned. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly?) if needed gpm is exceeded then pressure would drop affecting weight capacity and hydro performance, but I find it hard to believe in this day anyone would design inadequacy, at least I hope. Lift height is actually more important to me than weight abilities for homeowner use. Would be nice to be able to throw ripped off shingles in the loader from the roof, that probably rules out an OEM loader. They had mentioned a rear discharge deck also, but I’m not seeing mention of it now. A suspended rear discharge MMM is of major interest to me.


Still curious what pump is driving the hydro if not the main. In the age of bigger numbers are viewed as better, you wouldn’t think JD would want their numbers to appear wimpy. If the hydro is actually driven by a different pump than main hydraulics, they should educate us what the norm for driving implements alone is.
